A Lady's Virtue by A.S. Fenichel

Sylvia Dowder is a strong woman.  She was engaged to a man she thought she loved when he unexpectedly became a viscount and broke their engagement for a more "suitable" match to his new station.  Sylvia became an employee of the Everton Domestic Society to maintain her independence and dignity.  She vows never to fall for a titled man again.

Anthony Braighton was raised in America.  After he unexpectedly inherited the title of Earl of Grafton,  his mother and aunt are insisting that he needed to get married.  Anthony is determined to remain single so he hires the Everton Domestic Society to provide a hostess and decorator for his upcoming parties.

Once Anthony meets Sylvia, he is captivated.  She is smart and beautiful and determined to ignore the attraction between them.  Anthony is determined that he has met his match in this Everton Lady.

Once I sat down to read this book, I did not stop.  I liked Sylvia.  She was a strong, wonderful heroine.  Anthony was the perfect hero.  I liked that he was an American and attempting to figure out the details of London society.  The supporting characters were great.  I felt bad for Syliva's twin living with their almost neglectful parents. 

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.  Thank you!!!
